Asia/Pacific IT Infrastructure for Business Innovation
Conference 2005 |
| |
| The
IT industry is going through a never-before-experienced
trend of having to align itself increasingly to business
needs of an organization. There is participation of
people beyond the IT department, such as the
line-of-business managers or even CFO's getting involved
in the setting-up of the core infrastructure that
supports the business of a company. A good solid IT
infrastructure is no longer a luxury or something
"nice to have." The technology infrastructure
of an enterprise defines its capabilities to
strategically leverage its IT assets, and thereby
ensures that it can generate the competitive advantage
needed to succeed in today's highly competitive
environment. |

Problems |

|
Often enterprises are unable to see the shortcomings of
complex infrastructures that have evolved over many
years. There are still countless incidents of IT
projects going wrong, and this continues to cost
companies millions of dollars and months of precious
time. The situation raises the obvious question of
whether CIOs are effectively auditing the efficiency of
their infrastructure, and whether they are measuring its
flexibility and agility to cope with the dynamically
changing needs of the business.
New business models demand a more flexible and
dynamic IT environment, which will require different
building blocks and management techniques. As a CIO, you
have to make the overwhelming choice of whether to
embark on something that offers major cultural and
operational shifts, or to continue on the well-trodden,
and apparently "safer" path. Unfortunately,
the "perceived" safe path is no longer an
option, as the risk of failure and disruption is very
real.

| Leveraging
an Organization's Competitive Edge with a Proper IT
Infrastructure |
| |
The CIOs are keen to avoid a poorly designed, yet complex infrastructure,
which is the biggest hindrance to an organization's attempt to use IT
strategically. They look at IT Infrastructure as a commodity that would be
secure and scalable and would achieve the following goals:
- Reduce costs
- Improve business efficiency
- Simplify by reducing the complexities
CIOs are experiencing increased pressure to provide greater reliability,
availability, security, and flexibility in delivering IT services to the
business at the same time keeping spending constant or even reducing
expenditure on IT. These trends are resulting in significant changes in the
way IT abilities are procured and managed moving forward.
As the leading IT market research company of the region, IDC recognizes
your aim to have a simplified IT infrastructure that would be smarter and
more cost effective. Consequently it has come up with an inaugural event,
"IT Infrastructure for Business Innovation 2005, Simplification,
Security & Scalability - Building a Smarter Future".

higher fruits of this phenomenon such as business process flexibility,
strategy and IT alignment. Industry experts will discuss the current aspects
of dynamic computing that will ultimately enable you to lower costs and have
a simplified IT infrastructure for your organization. This event will drive
discussions around the future direction, changing priorities, new
capabilities and upcoming possibilities that are going to shape the IT
infrastructure in the coming years.
The foremost challenge for CIOs today, is to establish priorities that
